Versatile: Alternate World

CLICK!

-You have selected "Decline to Rule".

One big reason I declined is that...

IT'S A HASSLE.

It's troublesome to handle things in ruling a nation. I don't even like creating a guild by myself which is much easier to handle than ruling an entire kingdom. As much as I hate it, it's one of the things I don't like the most. It's annoying and takes a lot of processes that I don't even care about.

One more thing is that it felt wrong to rule over a kingdom that is not governed by a human and what is more, it is a kingdom that hoped to be independent of humans. Although they will still want to make contact with humans, they don't want a government that a human is involved. Things get messed up if a human is involved.

And it would become much worse if a player does control it.

"What happened Master?" Tina asked.

I scratch the back of my head when I heard Tina call me Master. As much as I am concerned, Tina, it is pretty uncomfortable for Tina to call me one since she has usually called me Bladeheart before.

"It's nothing. Now, are you sure you want to follow me? The road that I am following is an arduous and troublesome path, this is not just an easy path you will walk into if you choose to come with me."

"I have no regrets, Master. I know what I am doing now, so I will follow till the very end!"

In the end, Tina became one of my followers. 

...

...

Due to the request of Tina, we didn't participate in the restoration of the Insect Kingdom. As much as she wanted to help, she is not obliged to do especially since she is running away from her responsibilities as a ruler. 

King Goliath woke up a few hours after I accepted Tina's request to become my follower. Despite missing both arm and confused by the situation he was in, he immediately managed to control the situation. After the demons were defeated, the previous inhabitants of the kingdom turned out to be hiding near the kingdom's borders. Someone helped them to evacuate, allowing to minimize the fatality rate of the demons invading and as a result, no one from the inhabitants died.

As for us, we are now returning. After the events and the demons have been killed, the last thing we are currently doing before returning back to Resurgia is to activate the Teleport Portal. After the quest was over, the situation that should have brought over the second expansion and the second Pioneer quest was cancelled after I managed to clear it all by myself and finished it before the scenario began.

...

"Alright, that should be done without a hitch," I grinned the moment the portal was fully activated.

The portal is located from the outskirts of the Insect Kingdom. Compared to the Teleport Portals of  Resurgia and Sandurk, the teleport portal of the Aquagius is near the Insect Kingdom's borders but not inside the city or the kingdom itself.

Since it won't activate until someone fixes it, I decided to volunteer in fixing it. As someone who have fixed one before in the past timeline due to a quest, I am quite familiar in activating the Teleport Portal that is not functional. Since the limiter for the Teleport Portal has been activated, we can now safely repair the thing and once it is repaired, it can be used to return to Sandurk or Resurigia.

"Looks like things are not going to be much hectic now, huh?" Lina sighed in relief.

"With the demons out of the threat, the Insect Kingdom just needed to recover on their own. Our job here is done, and if they wanted to gain independence, then the only thing they have to do is to prove that they can do it with their own power. That is the beginning of the independence of the kingdom itself," Tina looked back at the current Insect Kingdom.

"Do you regret doing it?" I asked Tina.

"No. Even I needed to be independent too. This is just the first step for me to learn more about the outside world."

I lightly smiled and activate the portal.

"Teleport to Sandurk."

White flash appeared and engulfed our body before we disappear completely before the portal. Now, only time will tell when I will get back to Aquagius again. Maybe in the foreseeable future.

...

...

"PHEW..."

I opened my eyes as the quest has finally been finished. My isolation method has finally ended.

After talking to Queen Tanya, she allowed us to stay in her guest room to have a rest and she also wanted us to tell her what happened in the Aquagius after we arrived. I took that chance to log out and finally rest.

The moment I tried to stand up, my head started to throb. It was so painful that I felt like I was bashed multiple times with a sledgehammer.

"...The f*ck? I thought that was resolved already?"

I held my head and the heck, it was much more painful compared to the time I was still inside the game. It's very painful as hell.

"Sh*t... I think I needed to actually rest for the rest of the day..."

I slowly crawl towards my bed and lay down in my bed once more. It is too painful that if I didn't endured countless kinds of pain before, I would have already collapsed from it.

"By just devouring the Weapons of Pride, it is causing me to feel this pain? It is even in the real world. Damn it, that is not a very good thing..."

I grip my forehead hard as the pain is just getting unbearable as heck. 

"GAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

The pain is flowing and my head just felt like its about to be split open. Is this some sort of an effect from the devouring of my weapon to the weapon? Or perhaps this is some sort of a backlash? I just don't know and the only thing I wanted to be done is for the pain to recede.

2 hours has passed and the pain is still lingering in my head. The sheets on my bed is already wet from sweat as I tried enduring it. Just by moving for a bit or trying to stand up just causes me to fell the pain once more. However, compared to the time earlier, when the headache occurred, its not as painful as before.

"...Is it receding? But it's still f*cking painful... I can't even stand to drink some medicine..."

I wanted to use my mana circulation to at least lessen the pain but the moment I tried earlier, the pain amplified so I stopped and just let the pain continue.

"Dammit...I think I am losing my consciousness for experiencing this pain a lot..."

I don't know if I got accustomed to the pain or just my pain receptors has gone numb after the assault of the pain.., However, my eyes felt heavy and despite the pain in my head, somehow, it seems like I can just sleep and disregard about it...

...

The moment I closed my eyes, I realized I am now floating.

"Am I dreaming? No, I don't think a dream can be this vivid... Unless I am just imagining things while I am having the pain, then this shouldn't be a dream."

I tried moving around and realized that I can float around the place. And despite the whole surroundings surrounded in white, I can definitely tell that this is not just a pure white world. I decided to fly around when I saw a small hut in the middle of the white place.

There, I tried to go to the place and saw a scene unfold before me.

A warrior.

He is holding a spear and a shield. He remain standing with the shield deployed to block while the spear is ready to strike. The man is guarding a small hut with open doors.

However, behind him is a woman and a child bathing in blood. That's when I knew that the two behind him are already dead.

In front of the man are countless soldiers and villagers holding torches. The villagers seems to be shouting something while the guards are holding their spears and sword as they threaten the man holding a spear and shield.

One villager throws a Fire Molotov Potion and the moment it was about to come in contact to the house, the man holding a shield and spear throws the shield he was holding into the air and the moment the bottle of the Fire Molotov Potion was about to reach the hut, the shield that he throw away earlier returned and on the way, the shield block the small bottle, rebounding it away and sending it back to the person who throw the thing to him.

Without a shield, the person who received the rebounded Fire Molotov Potion exploded to flames and started to scream.

"This..." 

I felt speechless...

This is a scenario of a Witch Hunt in the Alternate World.
